Sale OF Boxes.
Last week was lively one in theat-
rical circles. Mrs. Langtry and the
ministries together made it boom week
for the Grand opera house management.
Considering the prices of admission the
Langtry engagement was financially the
most successful of the season, the re-
ceiptS for the four performances
amounting to over $1,000. The only
scores ahead of this were made by
Booth and BPrnhardt, both of whom
charged higher prices. and even then
Mrs. Langtry'S receipts were within a
fraction OF Bernhardt's.

greatest OF all living actresses.
